       How the blinding of Sergeant Isaac Woodard changed the 
       course of America's civil rights history. On February 12, 
       1946, Sergeant Isaac Woodard, a returning, decorated 
       African American veteran, was removed from a Greyhound bus
       in Batesburg, South Carolina, after he challenged the bus 
       driver's disrespectful treatment of him. Woodard, in 
       uniform, was arrested by the local police chief, Lynwood 
       Shull, and beaten and blinded while in custody. President 
       Harry Truman was outraged by the incident. He established 
       the first presidential commission on civil rights and his 
       Justice Department filed criminal charges against Shull. 
       In July 1948, following his commission's recommendation, 
       Truman ordered an end to segregation in the U.S. armed 
       forces. An all-white South Carolina jury acquitted Shull, 
       but the presiding judge, J. Waties Waring, was conscience-
       stricken by the failure of the court system to do justice 
       by the soldier. Waring described the trial as his "baptism
       of fire," and began issuing major civil rights decisions 
       from his Charleston courtroom, including his 1951 dissent 
       in Briggs v. Elliott declaring public school segregation 
       per se unconstitutional. Three years later, the Supreme 
       Court adopted Waring's language and reasoning in Brown v. 
       Board of Education. Richard Gergel's Unexampled Courage 
       details the impact of the blinding of Sergeant Woodard on 
       the racial awakening of President Truman and Judge Waring,
       and traces their influential roles in changing the course 
       of America's civil rights history.
